Oh ladies. I just watched a home video from only 2 wks ago with my family. It was of my 4 yr old's birthday party. I could not believe my eyes! It is funny how you have such a different self image of yourself! EEEEEKKKK I can't believe I still look so far from my goals. I know I just had a baby 3 mos ago but heck.... seeing that video sure motivated me. I guess nothing better than taking a good hard long look at yourself on a 52" screen!!! ouch!

Well.... long story short..... I will be gettin' serious tomorrow with BFL again!

Has this ever happened to any of you?

My hubby was watching it too and saw himself and is back on the BFL wagon again with me starting tomorrow!

;( ;( ;( ;(

Hi Fitnut!

When I see pictures of myself I'm usually horrified. Please don't forget that sometimes cameras do add the bedreaded 10lbs and don't accurately portray the way you look.

I'm glad you are motivated, but I hope you don't worry to much about what the camera saw. Like I said, it's not always what others see!

HI Fitnut,
I was wondering what happened to you! I don't think I have been mortified b/c of any pitcures or videos that I have been in but I do have an AWFUL mirror in my bedroom that needs to go to the dump!
I was trying on my summer clothes the other day ,trying to narrow down what I was going to take to Cuba and everything looked pretty good.
But someone must have moved the mirror from its certain slant b/c I tried on some stuff yesterday and I looked like I was 4 feet tall and pretty darn wide.Then my mind started rolling."My Lord, I don't really look like this do I"? " I can't go no where dressed in this outfit, I look like an idiot"! But then prior to that, I had just tried on a pair of pants that I just bought, they are a size 5 and I need to take then back and get a size 3 or else take the ones I have and throw them in the wash, then the dryer.
I don't think we will ever know how people actually see us. Sometimes our self image is so distorted that we can't see past whats in our mines.
And remember that you did just have a baby 3 monthes ago.I have heard that it takes longer to get back into shape with the second but I am sure you can do it.
Good Luck,
Lori

I know some people are motivated by a bad picture or by some kind of confrontation with reality like an admonition from a doctor, but I've never been motivated by bad stuff. I always need to feel that I'm okay the way I am NOW in order to work hard on myself. If I don't feel I'm okay the way I am, then I work on my attitude before I can get started. Why don't you compare yourself to other women your age who have had babies so recently? I'll bet you're not that bad at all. Enjoy the process of getting to your goals! You're okay now and with every week you will get even better! :D

Fitnut,

Oh yeah, it's happened to me too! It's weird how you can look at yourself in the mirror day after day and not notice what you see in pictures or on video! Having "before" and "after" pics has always been a huge motivator for me to stay in shape. :)

BFL is a great program too! Are you using PUB/PLB with it?
